PART A

CSTR: 300*0.4/5 PFR:

CSTR: 24 dm3 Using simpson's third rule:

PART B

CSTR and PFR reactor volume will be identical from a range of 0.4 to 0.6 conersion because with the help of Levenspiel Plot, it is clear the the
region between 0.4 to 0.6 conversion is the Straight line and area under the staright line is same for differitial and integral form of equation

PART C

given: Volume:10.5 cubic dm

Using
by interploation , keeping moles and volume constant , we get values of - ra by putting different
conversion.

Conversion (X) 0.8 0.6 0.4 0.2 0.1 0.08 0.06 0.058
(-ra) Calculated 22.86 17.14 11.43 5.71 2.86 2.29 1.71 1.66

(-ra) Given 1.25 5 5 1.67 (1 to 1.67) (1 to 1.67) (1 to 1.67) (1 to 1.67)

 Since the value of (-ra) Calculated should be less than or equal to (-ra) given
So the maximum conversion that can be achieve is 5.8%
